We need to hear that they care

Students ask
administrators
to act on
systemic
racism
By Jane Wester
University Editor

Halfway through moderator

Clarence Pages first sentence at
Thursdays Town Hall on race and
inclusion, a chant broke out.
Whose university? Our university!
Page and a two-minute timer
onstage both stood still for the next
twenty-three minutes as demonstrators read demands from UNC
students today, from students at
the University of Missouri and the
University of Cape Town and from
Black Student Movement members
at UNC in 1968.
The 50 demands at UNC included
paying student-athletes, no longer
considering the SAT and ACT in
admissions and immediately firing
system president-elect Margaret
Spellings. Each point attracted
applause from some though not
all members of the audience in a
crowded Memorial Hall.
The meeting returned to its
scheduled activities when a woman
broke in on the other side of the
auditorium. She said she shared
black students pain and asked
everyone to come together.
There are people here that have
taken their time to come here, to listen to us, she said.
You speak for a lot of us, but
at the same time we need to come
together and make a solution.
The demonstrators announced
they would hold a press conference
outside and many of them walked
out. Page asked everyone to describe
what would make UNC more inclu-

sive while sticking to the two-minute

time limit.
Please do not read any more
manifestos, he said.
Public policy major Cara Pugh
asked administrators for action.
Page told the crowd not to expect
answers tonight.
This is my time to speak and say,
UNC administrators and leaders,
please offer us actionable steps and
items that we can expect to see by
February, by the end of this year
to help us understand where we
stand on this campus, Pugh said.
Please listen to those demands

and see that students are hurting

and students need change.
Students throughout the evening
asked administrators to respond.
Chancellor Carol Folt was the only
administrator to address the crowd.
Michael Morrison, president of
the National Pan-Hellenic Council,
read a list of demands including
bringing plots to campus and education for all students on UNCs racial
history.
Morrison stood up alongside
Jeremy Mckellar, president of the
Black Student Movement.
We have shared interests but

we are not monolithic and our

voices should not be homogenized,
Mckellar said.
Mckellars demands included
more academic support and opportunities for people of color and a
proposal that BSM reclaim full
control of the Upendo Lounge as a
space for black students.
Shelby Dawkins-Law, a graduate
student in the School of Education
and former president of the
Graduate and Professional Student
Federation, read her own list of
demands.
Im sad to say that in my time

here Ive seen racial issues get worse,

not better, she said.
One of Dawkins-Laws demands
was for scholarships given to trans
women, black women and black
genderqueer people in honor of
activist and writer Pauli Murray.
She also called for space for Latino,
South Asian and native communities comparable to the space given to
black students on campus.
Students and a few faculty and
staff members continued to line up
at the microphones for two more

Women gather to participate in a march for Take Back the Night on Thursday.

Students: We will
not be victimized
Students brought the
Take Back the Night
movement to campus.
By Maggie Budd
Staff Writer

Students walked around campus

on Thursday, chanting and holding
posters to bring awareness to malepattern sexual violence at UNC and
around the country.
The event was part of a nationwide movement called Take Back
the Night, where people take a stand
against violence against women.
Senior Lisa Dzera was one of the
students who organized the event.
Groups of women began the Take
Back the Night marches in the early
70s and made a significant impact,
Dzera said, However, it is obvious
that there is still so much to be done.
Juniors Catherine Mulqueen and
Savannah Peters brought the Take
Back the Night movement to UNCs
campus. Peters said she helped organize the march because the issue of
sexual violence is so prevalent.
We are excited to bring back this
powerful movement to UNCs cam-

pus, where the threat of male-pattern

sexual violence affects us every day,
throughout our lives and at even higher rates on college campuses, she said.
Peters said the march is a way to
raise awareness about sexual violence.
We will not stand for the street
harassment, for having to constantly
plan our lives around staying safe, for
the victim blaming, for the inability
to really trust male acquaintances,
friends and partners, and for the lack
of action against what is a public
health epidemic affecting over half of
the U.S. population at unacceptable
rates, Peters said.
Many of the participants were
female students, like first-year
Addison Troutman, who said the
event brings people together to fight
for a cause.
Its about women coming together
and finally saying no and saying the
safety we deserve and how were tired
of the inequality, Troutman said.
First-year Ruthie Allen said she
decided to come because the march
is relevant to life here at UNC.
Im here because sexual assault
and male-pattern violence on
this campus are serious problems

The search for the next East

Carolina University chancellor
has begun but not without some
hurdles.
Two groups the chancellor
search committee and the leadership working group were formed
by the ECU Board of Trustees to
conduct the preliminary search process in early October.

Over a six-day period we went

through a fairly extensive process to
ensure we had representation from
all constituencies, said Steve Jones,
chairperson of the ECU Board of
Trustees.
But the ongoing process was
interrupted earlier this month
when the UNC-system Board of
Governors announced controversial
salary raises for several chancellors
in the UNC system, including the
chancellors at ECU and UNC.
A protest involving ECU faculty
members and students followed the
decision.
In many ways, facultys concerns
on these kinds of issues really have
more to do with the overall degra-

dation of public education because

of lack of support, said John Stiller,
chairperson of the faculty at ECU
and member of the chancellor
search committee.
Public education is suffering
all across the country, said John
Burness, a visiting professor at the
Sanford School of Public Policy at
Duke University.
It takes a very long time to build
up a great university, but it doesnt
take that long to tear one down, he
said.

ECU and member of the leadership
working group, shared in ECU fac-

Universities aid the new majority

Some schools offer
cheaper tuition options for
nontraditional students.
By Haley McDougal
Staff Writer

When Thomas Lindsay first

heard then Texas Gov. Rick Perrys
call for college degrees costing a
total of $10,000, he had his doubts.
But now, around 13 public universities later, Lindsay has seen that
graduating in Texas with little to no
debt is a possibility thanks to variations of Perrys plan.
And the concept is not exclusive
to Texas, as the UNC-system Board
of Governors considered a similar
proposal in 2013.

The Texas model

Lindsay, director of the Center for
Higher Education at the Texas Public
Policy Foundation, said he has been
contacted by legislators nationwide
looking to develop their own plans.
Perrys original proposal for
two years of online learning and

competency-based programs has

been specifically adopted by Texas
A&M in Commerce, Texas.
But Kyle Beran, a chemistry
professor at The University of Texas
of the Permian Basin, said he has
found his universitys Texas Science
Scholar program, a variation of
these $10,000-degrees, to be effective for majors with low enrollment
numbers and low graduation rates.
With empty seats and small
academic programs, especially in
the sciences, small schools can
manage additional students from a
TSS program without the administration having to invest additional
resources, Beran said.
He said this would particularly
serve schools like UT-PB and its
peer institution, UNC-Pembroke,
who have a harder time differentiating themselves from other smaller
universities to prospective students.
Lindsay said the programs are
aimed at the new majority of college students the nontraditional.

The new majority

With rising numbers of nontraditional students nationally, tradition-

Let us fight but only when we must fight.

al images of residential campuses do

not always hold true, Lindsay said.
Qualifications for being a nontraditional student can range from
working full-time to lacking a high
school diploma or being a single
parent, according to the National
Center for Education Statistics.
For them the new majority
these sorts of programs may be their
only ticket to the American dream,
Lindsay said.
Matthew Rascoff, vice president
of the University of North Carolinas
Office of Learning Technology and
Innovation, said the board has been
developing online programs for nontraditional students.
Of the 42,783 undergraduates in
the UNC system over the age of 24,
almost a quarter were enrolled solely
online in the 2013-14 academic year,
he said.
Hannah Gage, former chairperson of the BOG, said when the board
was considering the $10,000 degree
model, the road was rockier than
anticipated.
I think part of it is how hard it
is to move in new directions with

How to save your spring semester schedule

This week has taught me
just how much I lucked out
my first semester.
My registration for fall
semester went so smoothly
too smoothly, in fact. And, in
an embarrassingly first-year
manner, I foolishly believed
that registration for spring
semester classes would go
equally as well.
How very, very wrong I was.
I had a hold on my
account up until the
morning of my registration,
I had my academic advising
appointment an hour before
my registration time, and
then, to my dismay, the
majority of the classes that

I wanted were already filled

up by the time I was set
to enroll. A brief few days
passed when I was registered
for only two classes.
Im still in the process of
fixing my broken schedule,
but Ive learned a lot from
my older, wiser and more
experienced peers. Heres
what I now know about
how to save a terrible spring
semester schedule.
Step one: Just cry a lil bit.
Class registration is
haaarrrddd.

Youre never too old for school

Two non-student auditors take
sports history class at UNC
By Piper Anderson
Staff Writer

Dr. Bill Primack and Fred

Shectman are older than the typical
students in Matt Andrews sport and
American history class.
Primack and Shectman have
been in the class since the beginning of the semester.
They are non-UNC auditors,
which means they take classes on
campus but arent University students.
Anyone from the community
that is interested in a class here
(can audit), so it could be someone who is retired or just looking to audit a class to get additional information, said Heather
Duncan, assistant registrar for
registration services.
Duncan said auditing comes
with a $20 fee, and the auditor
needs permission from the instructor and department head. Once
approved, the auditor has access to
Sakai and course documents but
does not have to complete tests
and assignments.
Auditing has historically been
allowed on campus, but a 2010
change in policy required non-UNC
auditors to register for classes rather
than simply sitting in.
There are four or five guys who
are all retired who, some of them
kind of follow me from class to class.
Whatever Im teaching they show

up, Andrews said.

Last year I had a 92-year-old
come to my class. It was great; we
were talking about World War II
and he was like, Well let me tell you
about you know. So I think theres
a value to that, that I like.
Some auditors have taken every
one of Andrews classes, but this
is the first of his classes both
Primack and Shectman have taken.
Primack said sports is a passion for
him because he played varsity soccer in college.
Its interesting, and its running
parallel with the other class Im taking, which is religion in American
history, Primack said.
So the two classes are kind of
running from a chronological perspective in lockstep, so its interesting to see how the two interplay.
Primack said he used to teach at
the UNC School of Medicine and
he had previous knowledge about
auditing. Shectman said he found
out about auditing through word
of mouth.
Someone told me that when
you get to be an old geezer like me,
you can audit classes and sit in on
courses, Shectman said.
And I said, Oh, this is wonderful!
Shectman said he audited a class
about the Holocaust three times
with the same professor because he
said the course holds special meaning for him.
They are very respectful,

Supreme Court to
hear abortion case
A talk at UNC Thursday
discussed abortion
impediments in N.C.
By Danielle Chemtob
and Sierra Dunne
Staff Writers

Following the U.S. Supreme

Courts decision to take up its first
abortion-related case since 2007,
Students United for Reproductive
Justice at UNC hosted an event
Thursday night attempting to battle
the stigma and negative political climate surrounding abortion in North
Carolina.
A group of students and activists
gave a presentation on the past and
current issues concerning reproductive rights in the state.
North Carolina has a long and
difficult history interacting with
reproductive rights, said Mars Ee, a
local advocate.
Despite this climate, were still
able to have these conversations,
and were still going to have these
conversations.
The group discussed reproductive rights issues in the state, such
as underfunded Medicaid, denial
of alternative family support and a
failed abstinence-only education.
The event also provided details
of how to terminate a pregnancy
and obtain resources in North
Carolina.
And the upcoming U.S. Supreme
Court case, Whole Womans Health
v. Cole, might increase restrictions
in the state, said Anise Simon,
another spokesperson from the
Carolina Abortion Fund.
The case challenges a Texas
law that requires physicians who
perform abortions to have hospitaladmitting privileges within 30
miles of their clinic. Clinics are also
required to have the same facilities
as a surgical center.
Critics of the law say it specifically
targets abortion clinics to restrict
access since its implementation in
2013, the number of licensed abortion facilities has decreased from 41

to 18, according to a study released

Tuesday by the University of Texas
in Austin.
Chavi Koneru, a policy analyst at
NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina
and board director at N.C. Women
United, said the restrictions are
medically unnecessary.
The requirements for the (clinic)
building requires things like the
size of the hallways, the size of
the janitor closet, Koneru said.
Ambulatory surgical care centers
are like mini-hospitals and thats
not what abortion clinics are, so it
doesnt even make sense.
But anti-abortion advocates
applaud the law as protecting
women from a potentially dangerous procedure. According to the
U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals,
210 women in Texas must be hospitalized annually after seeking an
abortion.
If you have an abortionist out
there that cant meet basic medical
standards, do we really want them
performing abortions? said Barbara
Holt, president of N.C. Right to Life.
North Carolina, while it does
require ultrasounds for some abortions and a 72-hour waiting period,
does not currently require abortion
providers to have hospital admitting
privileges but that could change,
Holt said.
If this is upheld by the U.S.
Supreme Court, this provision of
HB 2 in Texas, then most likely our
legislature may look at requiring the
same in North Carolina, she said.
But women without abortion
access sometimes resort to more
drastic measures. The UT-Austin
study also found at least 100,000
women in Texas between ages
18 and 49 or 1.7 percent of all
women in Texas have attempted a
self-induced abortion.
Legislators might not need any
medical justification to pass abortion restrictions if the case is upheld,
Koneru said.
Its essentially like Roe v. Wade
would have no impact anymore, she
said.

Wake County approves living wage

Wake County government What makes a living wage for families in North Carolina?
The current minimum wage in North Carolina is $7.25 an hour, but activists have demanded it be raised to

Government employees in Wake

County will receive a living wage
starting Dec. 1.
Wake Countys Board of
Commissioners voted unanimously
to raise the minimum wage for
county employees from $11.08 to
$13.50 per hour Monday.
The change affects 75 Wake
County employees who are all in the
lowest wage bracket.
Sig Hutchinson, a member
of the Wake County Board of
Commissioners, said providing a living wage for government employees
is in the best interest of the county.
I believe that a living wage is
good for everyone. Its good for
employers, its good for employees,
its good for communities, its good
for families and its good for the
economy, he said.
Ive felt for a long time that no
one should work 40 hours a week
and then not be able to take care
of their personal needs and their
families.
Wake County has the highest cost of living of any county in
North Carolina. Matt Calabria,
who also serves on the Board of
Commissioners, said providing a
living wage is essential for the livelihoods of government employees.
If were going to fight poverty,
the least we can do is make sure
were not responsible for it as
employers, Calabria said.
Hutchinson said the minimum
wage increase will cost $93,000,
which is less than one tenth of one
percent of the countys $1.14 billion
budget.
What we found was interesting
is that it was not near as much as
we had anticipated in terms of the
impact on the budget, Hutchinson
said. So doing right at the end of
the day made not only social and
moral sense, but it also made economic sense.
Calabria said the wage increase
will not cause a tax hike or a reduction in services for Wake County

wage set at $7.25 an hour, workers nationwide have been going on
strike in recent years in hopes of
receiving a pay increase to meet the
living wage.
The issue has also attracted
attention during the presidential
campaign with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders making the $15
per hour minimum wage a cornerstone of his bid.
Meanwhile, Republican candidates universally said they would
oppose plans to raise the minimum
wage during the last GOP debate.
Michael Walden, an N.C. State
University economics professor, said
minimum wages have been declining since the 1960s when they were
adjusted for inflation.
The minimum wage that we
had in the U.S. in the late 1960s,
adjusted for inflation, would
translate to around $11 an hour
today, he said.
Earl McKee, chairperson of

DTH FILE/TYLER VAHAN

the Orange County Board of

Commissioners said the living
wage for government employees
in Orange County has been set at
$12.76 per hour for some time.
McKee said the number $12.76
is based on research into the cost
of living in Orange County. Orange
County also has one of the highest
costs of living in the state.
The Board of Commissioners is
actively encouraging other employers in Orange County to pay a living
wage, McKee said.
The Orange County school
system has raised theirs. There are
several dozen employers in Orange
County who have already signed on
to the living wage movement, and
were wholly supportive of that,
McKee said.
But even at $12.76, living in
Orange County is an expensive
proposition, and $12.76 is much
higher than the federal minimum
wage.

2014, 2015 enrollees data used for lawsuit against UNC

The data will be used in an
affirmative action lawsuit.
By Jamie Gwaltney
Staff Writer

The approximately 63,000 people who

applied to enroll at UNC in fall 2014 and
fall 2015 received letters on Nov. 13 notifying them that portions of their applications
would be used as evidence in a lawsuit
against UNC.
Students for Fair Admissions filed a
lawsuit against UNC in November 2014
regarding admissions decisions based on
race and ethnicity and have now filed a court
order for application information from the
University.
University spokesperson Jim Gregory said
any information that could identify a student

was redacted from the documents, and the

defendants of the lawsuit are not allowed to
use the information for any purpose other
than the lawsuit.
Redacted records were provided so
Students for Fair Admissions dont have
the names of anyone who applied those two
years, and theyre not allowed to share with
anyone for any purpose other than the lawsuit, he said.
Gregory said the records are part of the
discovery phase of the lawsuit against UNC,
and the lawsuit is under a partial stay until the
U.S. Supreme Court case Fisher v. University
of Texas at Austin is resolved.
(Giving this information) is just part of
the legal process, and the agreement that was
put in place so discovery could take place,
Gregory said.
Gregory said enrolled students do not have
to worry about this lawsuit affecting their

enrollment, but this could affect admissions

decisions in the future.
First-year Hannah Morrow said she and
her roommate were worried when they
received their letters, but she didnt think
much of it.
I had heard about the lawsuit, Morrow
said. I figured it was something they had to
send out because of potential legal issues they
may run into.
Sophomore Moriah Sharpe was glad the
University notified her about releasing her
information, but wasnt worried about the lawsuit affecting her.
Sharpe said debates over college admissions
and affirmative action made her think lawsuits
like this were common.
I feel like this is kind of something par for
the course when you are an elite university,
that there is going to be someone who says I
was discriminated against, but I am personally

not worried about it affecting me, but I just

think this is kind of something that is kind of
to be expected, Sharpe said.
Sharpe said the Universitys decision to mail
a letter instead of send an email also raised
questions.
I think maybe theyre trying not to make
a big deal out of it, but I dont think theyre
really trying to hide it, she said. I do think
the letter did let us know what is going on.
She said she thought the way information
was given to students might be questionable.
I can see that kind of being perceived
that they are trying to be on the down low,
like so people dont really hear that much
about it because most people check their
emails, but not a lot of people remember
to check their mail that frequently, Sharpe
said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Lizz Winstead to perform at Cats Cradle

By Ziyad Habash
Staff Writer

Comedian Lizz Winstead

is a self-described satirical
instigator.
She co-created The Daily
Show and has worked with
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert,
Rachel Maddow and Bill
Maher, among others.
Winstead said her energetic comedy began as a way
to make her voice heard in a
strict, large Catholic family.
Growing up as the youngest
kid in the family, no one ever
asks what you think, she said.
In her book, Lizz Free or
Die, she explains how her
childhood and early experiences in standup informed
her standup now. All around
her there were people placing
limits, and standup was the
ultimate rebellion.
Its a radical act for a
woman to stand up on a stage
and say that I have something
to say, and you are going to
listen to it, she said.
Sophomore and former
staff writer for The Daily
Tar Heel, Crystal Yuille, said
theres a problem in the media.
There is an idea that
women are supposed to be
politically correct, Yuille said.
Winsteads current comedy

tour has raised $2 million dollars for pro-choice causes. Her

website, Lady Parts Justice,
exposes misinformation about
reproductive rights.
Theres nothing worse
than finding out you are
pregnant and then not understanding that the Planned
Parenthood you would go to
is closed or you have to wait
72 hours before you can terminate a pregnancy, she said.
While most comics stick to
exposing hypocrisy, Winstead
turns her comedy into activism. Her biggest inspirations
werent Stewart or Colbert
but those who dedicate their
lives to important causes.
The people who wake up
and make me do this everyday one is an abortion doctor named Willie Parker in
Alabama and Mississippi, she
said. Theres also a woman
named Amy Miller who has
a group called Shift, trying
to change the conversation
about abortion.
Above all, she tries to hold
the media accountable.
First of all, I started doing
comedy when the first Gulf
War happened in 1991. There
was only CNN, and I saw there
was graphics and a theme
song and all these hot people,
and I wondered whether they

were reporting on a war or

selling me a war, she said.
Junior Daniel Jones said
he, too, questioned how
media reports on important
events.
When I watch the news,
I look at the outlet. Everyone

has an agenda, he said.

Winstead said part of the
bias of the entertainment
industry was that people do
not look at the female experience as comedic material.
If you have a funny experience and you can make it into

a funny thing, I think you

should be able to share it, and
other people should be able to
enjoy it. Not because its from
a womans perspective but
just because it is funny.

Food stamps to come with work requirement

Some recipients
will have to work 20
hours per week.
By Lara Carson
Staff Writer

Effective in 2016 in Orange

County, able-bodied adults
without dependents will be
required to work 20 hours per
week in order to receive Food
and Nutrition Services.
People are at risk of losing important benefits for
which they need to survive,
said Bernadette Pelissier,
vice chairperson of the
Orange County Board of

Commissioners.
House Bill 318 prevents
the state from employing a
waiver that would exempt it
from requiring ablebodied
adults without dependents
receiving food and nutrition
services to work. These waivers became available in 2012
to states suffering from high
unemployment rates as a
result of the recession.
Our unemployment rate
has improved and thats why
we can no longer operate under
the waiver, Pelissier said.
Able-bodied adults without
dependents seeking food and
nutrition services will have
three months to fulfill the work
requirement or risk losing their

benefits. The work requirement may be fulfilled through

a paid job or unpaid work
related activities such as job
training or volunteer programs.
Orange County offers a food
and nutrition services employment and training program.
Individuals who are applying for Food and Nutrition
Services who are currently
unemployed can voluntarily
enroll in that program and
that program will provide case
management services to help
them locate a job and locate
training to find a job, most of
which are going to qualify as
work related activities, said
Lindsey Shewmaker, human
services manager of the

Orange County Department of

Social Services.
Chapel Hill resident
Veronica Lamberth, 55, has
received Food and Nutrition
Services for the past two
months. She doesnt believe
there are enough opportunities
for those affected by the policy
to meet the work requirements.
Those people are going to
starve and people going to be
hungry, Lamberth said in an
email through a Community
Empowerment Fund employee. If there were more companies and resources and jobs
then it wouldnt be a problem.
According to Shewmaker,
Orange County has approximately 11,800 Food and
Nutrition Services recipients.

The Department of Social

Services estimates that 1,500
of these recipients are ablebodied adults without dependents who could be directly
affected by the policy.
UNC economics professor
Stephen Lich-Tyler said this
policy will have little effect on
the countys poverty rate.
Forcing people to work 20
hours per week is not going to
lift them out of poverty, LichTyler said. This policy seems
to address a non-existent
problem of people voluntarily
not working. This is largely
political rhetoric playing on a
stereotype that is not true.
The maximum amount of
Food and Nutrition Services
unemployed able-bodied

adults without dependents

can receive is $194 per
month. This calculates to
about $6.50 per day. Ablebodied adults without dependents earning any sort of
income receive even less.
The idea that food stamps
are incentives is laughable,
said Lich-Tyler. The size of
the benefits is not enough to
incite that type of behavior.
For Lamberth, Food and
Nutrition Services are a means
of survival.
They have helped keep
me from being hungry on the
streets and have helped me to
become more independent in
feeding myself.

UNC opens its doors to

discussion on migration
By Brandon Oppong-Antwi
Staff Writer

International immigration
hit close to home Thursday
night as professor Kit
Wellman lectured on global
immigration and the refugee
crisis in Europe.
Wellman, a professor at
Washington University at
St. Louis, began the talk by
providing context about the
current status of immigration
within the United States.
In an explanation of both
sides of the argument, he
acknowledged both fears that
low-skilled workers would be
displaced by immigrants but
also hopes that they will positively affect the economy.
Differing levels of border security along both the
Canadian and Mexican
borders are another topic of
interest, he said.
The conversation then
progressed to concerns about
the recent refugee crisis in
Europe.
The current refugee crisis
is horrific, and it is important
to have an open forum on a
serious humanitarian crisis,
he said.
Wellman introduced the
argument that states are not
required to have open borders, saying they have the
right to evaluate the situation
and to self-determination, as
well as the freedom of nonassociation.
Regardless, he said those
countries with the necessary
resources to help should do so.
Wealthy nations have the
disjunctive duty to help their
less fortunate counterparts by
opening their borders or to
help those in absolute poverty
domestically, he said.
Ian Cruise, a graduate
student in the Department of
Philosophy who attended the
lecture, said he affirms this
obligation of well-resourced
nations.
People dont have the right
to exclude outsiders, he said.
But discussion of open
borders did not go as far as
it could have for Ludovica

DTH/CORI PATRICK
Kit Wellman, a UNC alumnus and philosophy professor at
Washington University, gave a talk on Thursday.

Atticciati, a junior foreign

exchange student.
I am a strong supporter of
keeping borders opened, and
I feel he didnt talk too much
about this piece, she said.
In terms of recent arguments about terrorism
resulting from immigration,
Wellman said, oftentimes,
it is not the immigrants
but rather the short-term
residents that pose a threat.
Immigrants, he said, are looking to settle and assimilate.
Given the overall complexities of the migration
and its implications, he said
there should be a more open
dialogue about the topic
which he said he sees to in a

class he teaches in St. Louis.

My goal in the class is
not for students to have one
stark view of the crisis but to
present arguments that support close borders and open
orders, Wellman said. I want
students to think critically
about important issues.
Russ Shafer-Landau, the
director of the Parr Center for
Ethics, said he recognizes the
refugee crisis is an issue with
no simple solution.
The reason the Parr
Center had this talk was to
bring someone who could
incite nonpartisan discussion
on this issue.

Raby George: an iron gate UNC enters

Coastal
Week with
goals intact

By Blake Richardson
Staff Writer

For as long as he can remember, Raby

George dreamed of playing on the big field.
Growing up in Sweden, he was surrounded
by soccer. As a boy, he used to enjoy playing
with his uncles and older cousins. Surrounded
by the people he loves, he quickly discovered a
passion for the sport.
You have your parents from the start, and
whatever they love, you love, he said.
And for George, that was soccer.

The Tar Heels can win the

Coastal Division on Saturday.

A big soccer family

George first joined a soccer team when he
was 6 years old, though he doesnt remember
when he first started playing.
I think Ive always played soccer, he said.
Growing up with a family of soccer players
drove him to fall in love with the game early
on. Both of his parents played, and Georges
twin sisters and 6-year-old brother also play.
Even though he is separated from his family
by an ocean and a substantial time difference,
George said his familys support has never
waned. No matter how late he plays, his
parents stay up to watch his games on TV in
Sweden. Their support has been consistent
throughout Georges life.
When I was younger they drove me
to every game, took me to every practice.
Especially my dad was always there, he said.
His eyes light up when he mentions his
father.
He is the reason I play this sport, he said.
His parents encouraged him to try a
range of sports. And he did from ice
hockey, to volleyball, to basketball and even
ping-pong. But George says, It was always
going to be soccer. Its one of those things
that you just know.
So at 16, George let go of his other sports
in pursuit of his true dream to play
professional soccer.

Degree first
By the time he was 18, George had reached
a level of talent that could propel him to the
pros.
But he was missing one piece a college
degree.
That was a tough decision, obviously, he
said. Because you have this dream youve
always fought for, and its right there, and
youre 18 years old, and its tough.
But at the same (time) for me, and thanks
to my parents to guide me through my
decision, it was, Go get your degree first and
then go pro.
But he could not do both. At least, not in
Europe. North Carolina mens soccer coach
Carlos Somoano noted that overseas, it is not
possible to get an education while playing at
a high level of soccer. Ultimately, this is what
drew George to the United States and to
UNC, where George enrolled in 2012.

A family away from home

The decision to come to the U.S. was tough,
but George said being a student at UNC
presented its own challenges namely, the
adjustment to college courses in a foreign
language.
Obviously we learned English in Sweden
but coming in here and reading at a college
level?
He sighed as he remembered his initial
frustration.
That was intense.
But he was not in the struggle alone.
Our goal as seniors is to help the freshmen

get settled, said former teammate and fellow midfielder Alex Walters, who mentored
George during his first two years at UNC.
Our goal as seniors is to help the freshmen understand what their class schedules
going to look like and what the work rate
theyre going to have to put in is going to look
like and how theyre going to have to push
each other in practice and we want them to
understand that as quickly as possible so we
can hit the ground running right away.
Walters said he connected with George
because of his fun-loving personality, and
the two grew close. He fondly recalls how
they would spend afternoons together at
Chipotle, sitting outside and talking anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours
over sweet tea and burritos.
George said the support from his team
made all the difference.
Theres so many connections and alumni
that come here and try to help you in every
way possible, George said.
Its just so amazing. And I know that Im
leaving this place with a new family behind
me. A family away from home for sure.
George deems brotherhood one of his
favorite parts of UNC soccer. Walters recalled
how George embraced this environment of
togetherness.
He felt that he was a part of something
a family in that sense, Walters said.
And with the support of his soccer family,
George more than adjusted to UNCs
environment. He thrived in it.

Leading by example
George has come to grow substantially as
a player and a leader, and the rest of the team
has felt the effect of his presence.
Its not just soccer, Somoano said. Its
leadership as well. And I think thats probably
one of the areas that hes excelled at this year.
Walters recalled that he was impressed by
Georges remarkable work ethic.
Hes headstrong. He does what he wants.
Hell go after it as hard as he can, he said.
Now, it is the seniors work ethic that has
made him a crucial component for fifth-seeded
North Carolina as it prepared to face Coastal
Carolina in the second round of the NCAA
Tournament at 6 p.m. on Sunday at Fetzer Field.

Hes been one of the more

enjoyable student-athletes to
watch grow that weve had.
Carlos Somoano
North Carolina mens soccer coach

Hes kind of been an iron gate for us,

Somoano said. Hes there every day. His
physical resiliency has been remarkable. Hes
one of the guys that can come up day after day
after day and really grind at practice.
George who has scored all three of UNCs
penalty kick goals this season noted that
since coming to North Carolina, his greatest
improvements have been in his mentality. He
feels that he is a more strategic player and has
grown as a leader.
Somoano has also been impressed with his
growth both on and off the field.
Hes matured not only as a soccer player
but as a young man he said. Hes been
one of the more enjoyable student-athletes to
watch grow that weve had. I mean, its really
remarkable the things that hes been able to
absorb, and like I said, I think thats a testament to him.

Taking the next step

Months away from receiving his diploma,
George is almost ready to catch hold of his
lifelong dream to play professionally. Looking
back, he said he is glad he waited to go pro.
I dont think I was mentally ready for the
difficulties that would have come if I wouldve
gone pro George said. And now that Im
older and wiser, as they say, I feel like Im
ready for that experience for sure.
The young boy who once relished playing
with his family is now on the cusp of reaching
his lifelong dream.
Being around that made me fall in love
with the sport because I saw how much fun
people were having, George said.
And I was always thinking, One day, Im
going to be that guy that runs around on the
big field.
And now he is.

DTH PICKS OF THE WEEK

THE LOWDOWN ON
SATURDAYS GAME

The DTH sports staff and one celebrity guest compete to pick the winners
of the biggest ACC and national college football games each week.
Sports Editor Patrick Lance James has
many things to be thankful for this season.
A ballin middle name of Lance.
Wonderful staff members at The Daily
Tar Heel who write hilarious pick text.
And a scintillating 8-1 run in a week
where the top three pickers each went 5-4,
placing him in third place and three games
back of the leader.
You better watch out, because your boy
is making a late charge! James said.
The artist sometimes known as Swaggy
P chose correctly in the four games that
generated the most split among pickers
last week, wisely taking Pitt, Oklahoma,

Houston and Arizona State.

Meanwhile, senior writers Carlos Collazo,
Brendan Marks and Assistant Sports
Editor Logan Ulrich are trying to recover
after horrendous weeks. But Collazo still
remains at the top of the field and holds
a two-game advantage over Marks.
Collazo oozes confidence over his ability to
maintain it.
Brendans odds of beating me at this
point are less than a snowballs chance in
Spain, Collazo said.
Finally, Assistant Sports Editors Jeremy

tied after last weeks results, which deeply

Two words. One cry.

For the past two weeks, the No. 12 North
Carolina football team has rallied around
a theme devised by junior receiver Mack
Hollins.
With a chance to retain possession of the
Victory Bell, he roamed Navy Field leading
up to the Tar Heels 66-31 victory over
Duke yelling, Duke Week!
And when Coach Larry Fedora told
his team it could become only the second
group in program history to finish the
season 7-0 at home prior to UNCs 59-21
triumph over Miami, Hollins changed the
mantra to History Week.
So entering Saturdays game at Virginia
Tech with a chance to claim the Coastal
Division crown, Hollins sat in Tuesdays
team meeting brewing over this weeks
theme. Then, in a eureka moment of sorts,
he screamed, Coastal Week! The name
has stuck.
It is Coastal Week, said redshirt senior
linebacker Jeff Schoettmer. Weve got an
opportunity to clinch our side of the division, and we understand whats at stake.
The guys are more focused than ever.
Were not worried about who were playing,
where were playing, who is coaching the
team were playing. Were just worried
about what we can control, and if we get
this win, then were Coastal champs.
Since Fedora arrived at UNC in 2012, his
goals for his team have remained the same
a Coastal Division championship and a
state championship, wins over Duke, N.C.
State and Wake Forest. With a victory on
Saturday, the Tar Heels would accomplish
the former for the first time.
The achievement would give North
Carolina an opportunity to claim its
first ACC championship since 1980 and
potentially a chance to compete in the
College Football Playoff.
But no matter what the future holds, the
teams primary goals remain at the forefront.
Theres no need to change, Fedora said.
Why? Why would we change it? Were like
trained pigs. Weve got something; we just
keep doing it over and over and over.
UNC has now won nine consecutive
games for the first time since 1914. And
after falling short of its goals the past three
seasons, Coastal Week is finally here.
Its never been something weve really
been able to realize or really come close to,
Hollins said. My first year was the closest,
but we were on probation so that doesnt
really count. But now we actually have a
chance, and its in our hands its not like
someone has to lose for us to win.
If we win, we win. Thats it. Its a great
feeling to have it in your hands and know
whatever you do is whats going to decide
your fate.

here and be able to take us to
the next step, Anderson said.
For the time being, the
search process will continue
with the leadership working
group and its three subcommittees.
That is where a hundred
percent of our energy is being
focused on at this point,
Jones said.
Among the leadership

working groups subcommittees, one is tasked with creating an online survey about
qualities of an ideal ECU
chancellor, Anderson said.
Anderson, a member of the
online survey committee, said
they intend to distribute the
survey next week to the whole
ECU community.
The goal is that it is going
to feel and present more like
ECU, not like just another
standard chancellor search,
she said.
The leadership working
group is scheduled to present all of its recommendations to the chancellor search
committee and UNC-system
leadership in the middle of
December, Jones said.
President-elect Spellings
will be at that meeting in
December, he said. Well be
able to get any feedback and
input from her.

We dont want
salary to be an
issue to stand in the

The timeline for the process is still tentative, but the

committee hopes to present
three candidates to Spellings
by late March or early April.
Spellings will then make her
first major nomination as system president to be approved
by the BOG.
I think it is really important for her to signal early
that she supports fundamentally important academic values and isnt just a manager,
Burness said.

and the University doesnt

respond the way they should,
she said.
Anna Kelly, another firstyear participant, said the
issue of gender-based violence is not isolated at UNC.
Nationally, (Take Back the
Night) means women joining together and gendering
sexual assault, she said.
The students walked in a
group through campus and
Franklin Street demanding
a change in the way society

TUITION

views sexual violence.

Living in a society where
there is a constant threat
of sexual violence is not
natural and it is not okay,
Mulqueen said.
She said sexual violence and
harassment, as well as the fear
that goes along with those, goes
beyond this march.
We need to take back
more than the night, she
said. We need to take back
dinner dates, bars, parties,
fraternities, the streets, our
bodies and our lives.

educational delivery within

a large institution like the
University of North Carolina,
she said.
Deciding which degrees
would be offered at discounted
prices was a challenge, she
said, which led to starting with
a small, online degree program
for members of the military.
We are absolutely working on something similar,
something that will be in (the
$10,000) range, and were
doing it in different ways,
Gage said.
She said the focus has
shifted to helping students
who might have dropped out
of college and only need a few
more courses to graduate, and
developing the high-demand
degrees that would combine
two years of community college

A good news story

The affordable Texas models
help to solve tuition hyperinflation and student loan debt that
comes with it, Lindsay said.
It has been solved at the
intellectual level, now its just
a question of political will,
he said. Will public universities give these students what
they need?
Lindsay said he is optimistic
that more states will adopt
lower tuition degrees.
Students and parents who
have been worried should be
encouraged by this, and need
to know about this and to
pursue it when their own sons
and daughters are looking at
colleges, he said. This is a
good news story.

IFC provides meal for Thanksgiving

The nonprofit helps
people in need for
the holidays.
By Rachel Bridges
Staff Writer

Trying to imagine
celebrating Thanksgiving
without Thanksgiving
dinner is hard, but this is
often a reality for many
people in need in Chapel
Hill and Carrboro.
Luckily, the Inter-Faith
Council is there to help
those who would have
otherwise gone without.
IFC has been providing
Thanksgiving and holiday
dinners for around 20 years
and has a variety of other
programs to assist those in
need. They include a food
pantry, providing emergency
shelter when the temperature gets below 40 degrees,
rent and medication assistance, distributing books
through the Orange County
Book Drive and much more.
We operate as a food
pantry, and one of the main
qualifications to receive food
is that you have to either live
in Chapel Hill or Carrboro,
and you can come as often as
once a month, said Kristin
Lavergne, IFCs community
services director.
We also help provide

clothing, transportation,
emergency assistance and
paying for medications.
With the holiday meals, we
look at to see if people have
received some sort of assistance from us in the last two
years, and thats also how we
qualify people.
Donations from the public
are a large part of operating
the Thanksgiving and holiday meals.
It takes a village to help
people succeed, so we try to
sort of organize a small village, said Michael Reinke,
IFC executive director.
People contribute to the
organization in many different ways to run all areas of
the operation.
There are many ways
that people can get involved,
Reinke said.
People can pick up food
thats donated to us from local
grocery stores or restaurants.
People will volunteer to be
the receptionist at some of
our different locations. People
can be a social worker, or
a counselor, teach literacy
classes, meditation classes, help
with job coaching. One of the
easiest ways people will often
get involved is make meals at a
community kitchen.
Every donation counts.
If people donate only $25,
they can help families in need
have a Thanksgiving or holiday dinner, Reinke said.

COURTESY OF LUCIE BRANHAM

The Inter-Faith Council has been providing holiday dinners to people in need in Chapel Hill and Carrboro for approximately 20 years.

Last year, we had 700

individuals donate to help
people get a Thanksgiving or
holiday dinner.
This year, donations have
an even greater impact.
Any funds that IFC

receives by the end of this

year from new donors,
lapsed donors or that are
additional funds from existing donors are eligible to be
matched by The Stewards
Fund up to $92,625, said

Lucie Branham, a spokesperson for the IFC.

Thanksgiving is a food
holiday that should be celebrated. Year round, but especially around the holidays,
Lavergne said.

People are able to come

together.
Visit IFCs website to learn
more about the Inter-Faith
Council and to donate.

Carrboro debates IFC community kitchen

By Alexis Allston
Staff Writer

A passionate debate ensued

at the Board of Aldermen
meeting on Tuesday over a
proposed text amendment
which would establish community kitchens as a permitted use in Carrboro.
If the use permit is granted,
the Inter-Faith Council plans
to open a community kitchen
on 110 W. Main St. in Carrboro
to implement their FoodFirst
program the IFCs plan to
have both food pantry and
community kitchen services
available to those in need.
At the meeting, many
Carrboro business owners

near the proposed location

expressed their doubts about
it being the best choice.
Dr. Susan DeLaney of The
Wellness Alliance said she
doesnt think 110 W. Main St.
is the right location.
My main concern is the
traffic, DeLaney said. Its a
very small area.
At the meeting Tuesday,
Aaron Nelson, president of
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce, spoke
on behalf of many in the business community who do not
feel this is the best location
for a community kitchen.
Folks are not saying what
they have to say. I am before
you to represent results of two

meetings with more than 60

business people, Nelson said.
DeLaney said a large part
of the issue is the IFC and
the town of Carrboros lack
of communication with the
business community concerning the community kitchen.
The whole town needs to
be involved in this decision,
the businesses in particular,
DeLaney said.
At the meeting, Board of
Aldermen member Bethany
Chaney said she was disappointed so many business
people felt the communication was poor.
Thats disappointing
because thats certainly not the
intent, Chaney said. I appre-

New UNC American

Indian tour begins today
By Sarah McAdon
Staff Writer

The UNC American Indian

Center is hosting its first
Native Narrative Tour at 3
p.m. today, sharing the experiences of Native members of
the state through historical
and modern-day accounts.
The hour-long tour will
begin at the UNC Visitors
Center and end at The Gift
walkway near the Student
Union.
Teryn Smith, who is a
member of the Sappony
tribe, is an intern at the UNC
American Indian Center.
Smith said the tour includes
recorded narratives of people
who have a relationship with
the American Indian Center
and prominent tribal leaders.
We were on this land before
the University, weve been here
all along and we will continue
to be here, Smith said. So we
wanted to share our stories and
share our experiences with the
campus community and even
with others outside the campus
community as well.
The tour is scheduled for the

third Friday of every month

from October to April and is
also available by special request
for groups or classes. Smith
said they are targeting people
of all audiences and hope to
expand peoples perspectives.
We really hope that people
will have the experience
and understand how we can
merge native tradition with
the campus environment,
Smith said. We arent always
in the spotlight. We want
people to be more aware of
Native issues and Native
people and their everyday
experience on campus.
Missy Julian-Fox, director
of the visitors center, said the
idea for the tour began when
she was asked to give a tour
for candidates for director of
the American Indian Center
about five years ago.
I became much more
aware in talking to the candidates of the American Indian
population on campus, in
North Carolina and in the
broader universe, she said.
I just thought, Wow I didnt
know all this. This is a story
that really needs to be told.

Robert Holden, of Choctaw

Chickasaw lineage, is deputy director of the National
Congress of American Indians.
He said educating people about
Native perspectives is crucial to
understanding a more reliable
and honest national history.
If anything, thats what an
academic setting is designed
to do enlighten people
about things regarding history, governance and certainly
knowing that Native peoples
stories in history can be told
more accurately, he said.
Holden said reading history
books without hearing personal interpretations does not
provide truthful insight into
Native peoples experiences.
Many of the stories and
interpretations of natives
have been written by nonNative people, he said. Their
perspectives were pushed and
presented by the exact same
people who moved them out.
The journalists writing these
things were not going to point
out the dastardly deeds of
their own race.
university@dailytarheel.com

ciate those of you that are at

least willing to say, it really
sucked, that communication.
Jason Merrill, an owner of
Back Alley Bikes, said he fully
supports the idea of a community kitchen in the current
downtown Carrboro location.
I know theres a lot of opposition to this idea, said Merrill
at the meeting. Its disappointing and surprising. I grew up
receiving the kind of aid the
community kitchen offers. I
like to think that the community truly is all of us, from the
poorest to the richest.

For business owners concerned about the potential

for a community kitchen to
bring more homeless people
to the downtown Carrboro
area, Michael Reinke, executive director of the IFC, said
the FoodFirst program would
have the opposite effect.
Right now, if there are people hanging out on the streets,
by implementing FoodFirst
we actually are able to make
better connections to services,
so we can get more people off
the street, Reinke said.
DeLaney said the business

community is not anti-soup

kitchen, and the idea is something the town could support
if the location was different.
I just think people need
to sit down and talk together
instead of fighting it out,
DeLaney said. DeLaney said
the post office at 1500 W.
Main St. could be converted
into the community kitchen.
All that congestion would
be out of the center of town,
but yet its close enough,
DeLaney said.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Emily Yue, emyue@live.unc.edu

oday marks a week

since the Paris attacks,
and with it a renewed
sense of anguish and grief over
the loss of innocent life.
Millions have shared their
condolences on social media.
Facebook transformed into
the blue, white and red of
the French flag, and Twitter
feeds were overwhelmed with
#PrayerForParis.
Millions, too, have expressed
dismay at the (lack of) response
to other sources of oppression
and mass violence. Where is this
grief and outrage when Beirut
and Baghdad experienced similar attacks of terror days earlier?
When Israeli occupation forces
slaughter Palestinians daily?
When police brutally murder
Black and brown youth on our
streets? What of my friends
in Beirut, Baghdad, Palestine
and Amerikkka? What of their
safety?
At home and abroad,
grief has transgressed to
white terror, Islamophobia
and xenophobia. In North
Carolina, Gov. Pat McCrory
and Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Roy Cooper both
called for a halt on the resettlement of Syrian refugees.
Locally, a refugee resettlement organization where a
friend of mine works has been
warned of potential threats.
Alert Carolina called for an
increased security presence
on campus and awareness of
unusual activity coded language for further surveillance,
policing and terrorization of
Black and brown people.
This begs the question:
Whose safety are we protecting and at whose expense?
Who has the privilege of being
humanized and who does not?
I did not change my profile picture to the shades
of France. To do so would
require me to express selective
grief, value white lives over
Black and brown lives and
validate a narrative predicated
upon Western victimhood and
exceptionalism.
In her poem, South Asian
blogger Karuna Parikh
lamented, Not one persons
status update says, Baghdad,
because not one white person
died in that fire. The white
world is unfazed by Black and
brown victimhood and incited
to racialized violence by white
victimhood. Mass violence
against people of color
often at the hands of Western
colonialism and capitalism
is treated as commonplace,
victimless and agentless. On
the other hand, white victims
are imagined as martyrs to
justify further violence against
people of color. Selective grief
begets a two-tiered valuation
of humanity in which white
blood is sanctified and Black
and brown blood is collateral
and surplus, pathological and
criminal.
The attacks in France
last week were labeled the
bloodiest in French history.
I suppose French history has
been absolved of the blood of
Algerians massacred on the
streets of Paris in 1961 or the
blood of millions in Southeast
Asia, India, Syria and Saharan
Africa murdered during
French colonialism.
The French flag has flown
as a symbol of victimhood for
a week, but as an emblem of
colonial oppression, violence
and terrorism against people
of color for centuries.

Build for bikes

Chapel Hill should
stop planning and
start building.

iding a bicycle in
town has been a
dangerous experience for many. Between
2013 and 2014, three
cyclists died and 44 accidents occurred.
The town of Chapel Hill
wants more people riding
bicycles, but it must rapidly build much needed
infrastructure to make its
desire a safe reality.
The extensive town
bike plan, adopted in June
2014, is chock full of ideas
to change street infrastructure to be more bike
friendly. Its laundry list of
needed changes amounts
to $14.3 million. About
half of the dollars needed
to build these street and
sidewalk improvements
were approved in the
towns bond referendum.
But not all is ready to
launch. It seems that the
towns affinity for plans
is hindering its ability to
move concrete and actually protect a vulnerable
group of travelers.
The towns transportation and connectivity
advisory board requested
the towns planning
department conduct a
traffic study for Ephesus
Fordham District and
East Franklin Street. Even

though the bike plan outlines what infrastructure

is needed for the area,
the boards attention to
detail is limiting time and
resources that could be
spent on actually building
new projects.
The towns progress
on making infrastructure changes should be
a reflection of the most
pressing needs of its
cyclists.
Now that some funding for projects exists,
the town should work
with various advocacy
organizations such at
the ReCYCLEry and
the Bicycle Alliance of
Chapel Hill to identify
the projects that should
be expedited.
One of the greatest
barriers to more people
cycling in the town is how
safe they feel doing so.
The allocation of a bike
lane in the right place
may persuade or dissuade
someone from choosing to
bike to the grocery store or
to the coffee shop.
A website will be created to keep track of
ongoing projects, according to Town Business
Management Director
Kenneth C. Pennoyer.
This website ought not to
go the way of the towns
wikimap, a tool supposedly meant to facilitate
infrastructure planning
that the town has largely

underutilized and has yet

to act on.
It would serve the
town well to have a fulltime employee working
to implement the bike
plan. In fact, this is a
recommendation made
in the plan. But according to a Chapel Hill town
employee, the responsibilities of this role will be
handled by someone with
other duties.
To its credit, the town
has done an incredible
job with the planning of
this serious undertaking. However, the way
transportation is funded
in North Carolina and
the United States acts to
hinder the municipalities
progressive plans. Of the
states $4.3 billion transportation budget, less
than 10 percent was spent
for transportation infrastructure not expressly
meant for cars.
There are few places
better to ride a bike in
the United States than
university towns.
Hordes of twentysomethings need a quick
and simple way to traverse
their campus, and oftentimes parking for cars is in
short supply.
Chapel Hill can transform its streets to look
more like Amsterdams or
Copenhagens, and it has
positioned itself to do so.
Now it needs to act.

The wrong corrective

UNC governance
needs autonomy
from the NCGA.

o put it mildly, the

Board of Governors
has knocked its
illustrious reputation (and
that of the UNC systems)
down several notches in
recent years.
Even so, replacing mismanagement by the board
with micromanagement
by the N.C. legislature
is a pathway to disaster.
Defenders of the UNC
systems excellence and
liberal arts tradition,
while not softening their
critiques of the board,
must not be complacent
about legislative micromanagement.
It seems repetitive to
list the series of disappointing and outrageous
decisions the board has
made in the last few years,
but until the Universitys
direction changes, they are
worth naming.
The decision to remove
President Tom Ross and
install Margaret Spellings
based solely on politics,

the axing of genderneutral housing plans,

the politically-motivated
targeting of centers and
institutes with progressive
leanings, the slow creep of
tuition upward, the limit
placed on the amount of
tuition that can go toward
need-based aid and,
through it all, a chronic
lack of transparency
have embarrassed the
University system under a
national spotlight.
Even given all this, the
N.C. General Assembly,
which has embarrassed
the state more than the
board, seems particularly ill-equipped to lead
scrutiny of the Board of
Governors. It is worth
noting that these horrific
decisions do not seem to
be the motivating factor
for the legislatures turn
toward meddling in
fact, the decisions that
upset board critics the
most fall in line with the
legislatures regressive
agenda.
The legislature seems
embarrassed by the messy
nature of the boards
infighting more so than its

policy mismanagement.
This is not to say the
legislature could not
improve the Board of
Governors by making
structural changes to
make it more democratic.
Empowering University
stakeholders could only
beget good.
But the legislature
seems less interested in
reforming the Board of
Governors structurally
than micromanaging its
policy-making.
This should worry
defenders of UNCs liberal arts tradition even
more than the boards
outrageous decisions.
After all, members of the
board have requested
more robust funding for
the University system
than the state has granted
in its budgets.
Make no mistake, the
board must be more transparent, and its gross missteps must be reversed.
But the legislature should
back away, and defenders
of the University systems
excellence should support the boards autonomy
from the legislature.

TO THE EDITOR:
Dear Chancellor Folt (an
open letter):
We write to you as concerned representatives of
Student Stores employees
and in response to The
Daily Tar Heel article
Employees at other schools
describe positive relationships with Follett.
Over the past several
months, we have witnessed
a Request for Proposals
process that has been
clumsily led. It has damaged employee morale not
only among Student Stores
employees but among
employees across the
University who fear that
their jobs are next.
We echo professor Vin
Steponaitis comments at
the October Faculty Council
meeting when he observed
that employees at this
University have worked hard
and given their all to this
place, while seeing little in
the way of increased benefits
and salaries over the years.
The trade-off between
whatever relatively small
amount of money a private
company will generate
and 49 peoples jobs is not
worth the cost of lowering
staff morale.
We are surprised by the
administrations response
to the unsolicited proposal by Follett.
It has become clear
over the past few months
from rumored site visits by
outside companies, funds
wasted for the purpose of
RFP preparation instead
of student scholarships,
and the loss of an additional $500,000 in revenue
because of cost-savings
strategies that have been
delayed due to the RFP,
that the stores are being
prevented from carrying out their mission: to
increase revenue for student scholarships.
The DTH article fails to
mention that weve talked
with former employees
across the UNC system
who experienced bookstore
privatization. Those employees describe awful experiences, reduced hours and
the elimination of benefits.
We urge you to consider
the employees perspectives instead of those being
touted by upper-level
administrators about what
is apparently good for us.
We know whats in the
best interest of our staff,
faculty and students.

How is UNC still ranked 17th
